PLEASANTON, Calif. — January 07, 2014 — ManageEngine, the real-time IT management company, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., in the 2013 Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring[1]. The report can be viewed online at http://ow.ly/ozxJ0.

"We believe being recognized in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring (APM) for the third year in a row reinforces the confidence ManageEngine customers have in our APM strategy," said Sridhar Iyengar, vice president, product management, at ManageEngine. "This year, Gartner has positioned us the furthest on the 'ability to execute' axis in the Niche Quadrant. We feel this positioning reflects our unique value proposition, which revolves around an easy-to-use, feature-rich product that requires no professional services to get up and running and motivates us to increase focus on our APM strategy."

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring includes 13 vendors. Criteria for a vendor's inclusion in the APM Magic Quadrant include at least 50 customers who use its APM product actively in a production environment, a SaaS delivery model for at least a subset of the APM offering's features and the presence of all five dimensions of APM functionality as defined by Gartner. Those five dimensions are end-user experience monitoring, application topology discovery and visualization, user-defined transaction profiling, application component deep-dive, and IT operations analytics.

Today's IT managers are expected to understand how specific IT services are affecting business operations, so the organization's IT strategy should facilitate this. Regardless of the application's execution environment - physical, virtual or cloud - Applications Manager provides insight and control through a single, easy-to-use interface.
